Too shy to ever attend these meetups, but if you see a Mandalorian or Moon Knight walking around that weekend feel free to say hi.  :D

I started this place as a safe zone for socially awkward geeks, like myself, to enrich my (our) con experience. Stop by for a drink, you'll likely stay for food ;)

I won't mention the member to be considerate but a long time ago we had a member on this site who really brought shy to the true definition.  They started out small, meeting up with only a member or two that they had interacted with for a quick drink.  They had too much anxiety to meet the large group.  A few years later they were mixing in with the larger group and having a good time. 

I don't want you to think I am telling this story to pressure you into going to the meet-up, you do you!    I just wanted to let you know that it really is the safe zone that Alyssa set out to create and you are always welcome.

I have secured a reservation at nFuse (the restaurant inside the lobby of the Anaheim Marriott, adjacent to the convention center) for 5:30 pm on Saturday, March 25. This should allow us to have dinner so that people can leave afterward for the Masquerade or nighttime programming, if they wish.

If anyone else would like to join us, I can accommodate a couple more people!

I might drop by just to say hi. I wasn't originally going on Saturday at all, but the costuming group I'm part of gives away a scholarship to our annual conference each year and they needed another judge. So I'll be back Saturday for the Masquerade, but I'm not sure what time yet.

If I’m solo on Saturday, I may swing by and say hello as well. I’d love to put faces to (screen)names.

I just got my volunteer shift and it looks like they scheduled me during that time.  I might be able to swing by for a little bit though  :)

Hi! I’ll meet everyone inside at the restaurant if that’s ok. My 5pm panel started late due to tech difficulties and I’m trying to hear as much as possible.  Hope that’s not too much of an inconvenience!
